COPY ISBN

Baby-Toddler–Matisse-like color forms appear on pages with cut-out photos of animals and other objects, this time with numbers to create a journey through counting. The visuals are very strong and will keep children engaged. Using everyday items, such as trucks and strawberries, the book will have children counting their way from 1 to 10 twice while enjoying attractive spreads with bold, but basic, designs and photographs.

VERDICT This concept book succeeds for its strong visual design.
